Next race: IRONMAN France

Sunday my next big goal of the season is planned, IRONMAN France. I was able to win this race 3 times before. It goes without saying that I look forward and worked really hard towards this race. The last training weeks have been good, including a successful victory during the 1/4 triathlon in Les Sables d'Ollone, the hometown of my French club LSVT. They've put together a very nice organisation and I enjoyed racing there.

IRONMAN France is a classic in the IRONMAN circuit, swimming in the Mediterranean Sea and a marathon on the Promenade des Anglais. The bike course has over 2,000 altitude metres, including the Col de l'Ecre. That's why I chose to prepare myself in the French Pyrenees, Font Romeu, in June. Where I could get a lot of climbing in my bike training.

Start at 6:25 AM, my BIB-number is 2.
